A basic reading list in original Esperanto literature

See Concise Encyclopedia of the original Literature of Esperanto1887 -2007 by Geoffrey Sutton published by Mondial 2008 for details on authors and their works.

There are many excellent book suppliers, notably the
Internet bookshop run by the Flemish Esperanto League, Esperanto House in Barlaston, and the Universal Esperanto Association.

There is also a healthy second hand book market.

First compiled in 1988 William Auld updated his list again in 1997. While the list is unevitably becoming dated, it remains a statement by an author whose name was put forward for the Nobel prize for literature and whose opinion therefore will continue to carry considerable weight.

There exist Esperanto translations of many literary works from many languages. None of these appears on this list, as the works here must have been first published in Esperanto.
